WindSongs on Vacation

We are in Morocco once again. First, we saw Jenny and family in Rabat. We visited for a couple of days, played with the three ever growing grandsons. But they did need to keep going to school, so we took off on our own for a couple of days and traveled by train to Casablanca and then Marrakech. We visited the third largest mosque in the world and the largest open to non Muslims in Cassablanca. It was quite inspiring.
Then we made our way to Marrakech and stayed in a lovely Riad.


Philip at the door to the Road that was in an alley you would have been a afraid to go into if you didn't know you were supposed to. 

In the courtyard.


The door to our room.
The owner of the Road was wonderful. This is his home actually.

WHEN NOT MAKING BELLS.......

Sadly, instead of watching the Olympics, part of Philip's days lately have been spent repairing an unexpected plumbing leak that required digging up the walkway and planter outside the back door, digging up pipe, replacing with new pipe, running a new pipe inside a closet and on and on. The repair took four days and was not in the warmest of weather at times.





 
Help from our cat, Marble.
 
The new pipe outside the house...
 
 
... and it now runs inside the house through the back of our closet.
